It was obvious Joi was NOT the mole. No way the mole would mess up on the first task so badly. I also knew it wasnt will as he put so much money in the bank. On one task, the hike, Joi demanded that will be elimianted with his bag. It turned out that Will's bag had no money in it. I knew she wasn't the mole then.
@@willingcube5713 I assume she was because I was thinking "there's no way this person being a pilot is this trash at directions, it has to be on purpose"
Kesi played a GREAT game...just consider how many times the others picked her as the most trustworthy player and put her in the crucial position as a "safe" choice.
That doesn't mean much. The other players might have suspected her but were trying to convince other players that she was trustworthy so they didn't think she was the mole.
I genuinely did not like Joi but at the same time had respect because I genuinely thought she was the mole and had the balls to do it so blatantly. I still couldn't get over that 25k Gamble and then she audacity to say "we'll get it back guys" not only that she kept screwing up in other challenges as well. I just couldn't comprehend it other than her being the mole until I got to the end and I would have never expected it to be Kesi.
I was annoyed at her at first but then i understood why she kept throwing ppl off w her behavior, its part of her strategy to make people guess for her in the quiz in order for her to stay as long as possible in the game, which does work for her in the game. Unfortunately she guessed the wrong person to be the mole once she got into the finale
First of all, OUTSTANDING reboot of one of the most intelligent, amazing reality shows to exist! :) A fantastic season overall and we’re all hoping for a Season 2! 🙂 Second, there were a lot more hidden clues! 1) In the Dossier room, there was a Chinese checkers board on the wall. Kesi’s online profile states that she speaks Mandarin. Also checkerboards were the only objects not originally in the house according to internet images of the house, so this might have highlighted the importance of checkerboards in the Cell game and Kesi was in one of those rooms. 2) In the Chain mission, in the background are N.

C. which are the Mole’s initials backwards. 3) In the Birdcage, digitally added in one scene on the pizza receipt was 115199, which to the alphabet spells KESI 4) There were blue and yellow feathers in the birdcage which may have been the colors of Kesi’s volleyball team 5) Other possible clues: in the jail cell, the convict’s photo has 6’0 bolded: the Mole’s height. Also in the jail cells the walls had volleyballs, a reference to Kesi’s sports team. There were so many other Kesi sabotages that weren’t even mentioned! Kesi didn’t spot the dinghy in the plane despite being on that side, she faked her food to seem bad and spicy in the bomb game so she was eliminated, she chose the wrong liar story, she stalled a lot in the pigeon game, The ice blocks infamous sabotage, switching out Avori’s briefcase with hers, and the final mission!
And a clue for the audience would be in Episode 1 where she called herself a Computer Analyst, a term that is rarely used in the industry. Later in 1 of the episodes, she called herself a software engineer instead. A software engineer wouldn't call herself a computer analyst at all, even the closest term would be systems analyst. Also, during the pigeon episode, she wasn't looking into the binoculars but the cameraman 🤣
Netflix, we need more of this. This is why I wish the reveal and reunion were it’s own full episode, literally the best part of the old seasons! Also, bring us another season. This show could totally be in line with stuff like Survivor and Amazing Race, but much more fun since we, the viewers, get to play along too.
I was shocked that Kesi was the mole tbh. I fairly thought she was doing it all on purpose, but I was really happy that will won. He's tried his hardest and was a good team player, and he was one of my favorite people so I literally screamed when he won😀
I grew up watching the original. This version really stayed so true to the vibe the show always had. It was so well done! I hope next season they cast a mole that’s a little more convincing in confessionals and cast wider age ranges of contestants!

I knew episode two because she was looking out the plane too and didn’t say she seen the boat…from that episode on she kept messing up I WAS LIKE YUP ITS HER 🤷🏽♀️
I never once suspected Kesi to be the mole. I gave her the benefit of the doubt when she kept sabotaging everything. It really felt like she was genuinely trying. The only time I scratched my head was the ice mission but I felt she was doing that to get Joi out of the game so she could be in the finale and win the pot.
There were so many more clues as well - but this segment would have been so much more fun in the actual episode! Hidden clues are such an important thing in The Mole, and it's so nice to speculate about them during the season, so to give it proper recognition (with more clues included - perhaps less time spent on each one so the segment doesn't take too long) would have been so much cooler.
This should have been in the last episode, it would be even better but even though it wasn't in the episode, the show was so good, it needs to come back soon with a season 2!!!
@@Missramy100 He changed his normal answers that time, and that's why he got eliminated, he made a gamble and lost. I really began suspecting Kesi when he got eliminated.
I loved this new season, I was vouching for Will the whole game to win and I suspected it was either Jacob, Kesi or Joi. Though the reason why Oesi lost first because he was suspecting Joi and Joi was good at deterring and manipulating the situation to seem like the mole. How is she so bad at directions as a pilot?? Kesi played the ditzy genius role so well.
I suspected Kesi right from the time she messed up the bank locker game. She was chosen because she was smart and yet she couldn't even figure out a way about the names like Midas, Goldilocks and El Dorado? That made me so much suspicious and the fact that she was messing up in so many tasks. My suspicion got confirmed during the pigeon mission. She was deliberately trying to sabotage not to mention the ice game.
Right? My top 3 were Joi, Greg, and Avori. Kesi didn’t even cross my radar until Greg got eliminated but looking back it makes so much sense. She played her role perfectly
@@jgamer2228 Avori was too obvious. If she was a Mole she was a bad mole. I don't even know where Greg comes in, he was invested in winning, the mole won't try that hard. Joi was definitely on my list but after the last few episodes, I suspected Kesi immediately.
Really? I could tell from episode 1. Wanna know how? If you pay attention she is practicing her smile and faking it while everyone else is skitish about who might be the mole Kasi just casually smiles at every little thing. My time playing Throne of Lies online made me good at sussing out fake behavior and Kasi reeked of it from the start.
@@DST.73 actually it was obvious from episode 1 because she called herself a "Computer Analyst". Not only is that term rarely used in the industry, during 1 of the games she talked abt how she is a software engineer. A software engineer wouldn't call herself a computer analyst. The closest term would be system analyst.
I am COMPLTELY shocked. Never knew The Mole was Kasi. She was never on my radar to begin with in all honesty. I would of never guessed her as The Mole. Wow she got me good. She played the game well. Wow i am still in shock!!!
Her whole stratgey was to make ppl be suspecious of her so she knows how to answer the quiz, thats how she managed to last as long as possible in the game and made it to top3
No one gonna mention that they LITERALLY showed she was the mole... After taking the Exemption card, in the car ride back to the hotel, there's a shot of her holding the card and she flips it around and the other side reads "THE MOLE" ...only time you see that side of the card in the entire series
Knowing who the mole was, before watching the series, was eye-opening. The producers hardly ever show Kesi in it - she gets very little screen time and they concentrate on all the other characters. To the ordinary viewer she is lost in obscurity and hidden away from suspicion.
So glad Will won who made a decent contribution to his own winnings. I don't know how you can be Joi, have spent all that time with Kesi, and still thought it was Will.
I feel like she wasn't even paying attention in the challenges cos everyone knows Will put most the money in. Also how many times did Kesi make a major mole move in front of her n Joi was just oblivious to it😬
Better late than never with the clues! It was so much fun to track my suspicions all season and rank the mole suspects. Really hoping for another season!!
I was so sure Joi was the mole, coz she screwed up navigation on the very first mission and also bidded a whopping $25,000 for a bloody exemption. I had some doubts in the final few episodes coz Kesi was sabotaging, but then Joi kept insisting Will was the mole when he so obviously wasn't, and I was so convinced that she can't be that daft so she must be the mole. But yep, Joi's insanely bad decision making fooled me right up until the very end.
It also doesn't make sense that her scores in exam is not the lowest when her suspect is Will. Traits of Will is opposite of Kesi. Netflix for sure tweak the scores and intentionally retained Joi.
@@theCatsitter878 In the end even I was suspecting Will coz kesi was so obvious in her sabotaging. I didn't suspected Joi cause everyone is suspecting her since day 1, and maybe that's why they were voted out.
@@domon9794 Yes! What surprised me the most and conveyed it was scripted was Greg being eliminated! He was the person who suspected Kesi the most! Let's say he was influenced by Joi's speech against Jacob - but even if he divided his quiz answers between Kesi and Jacob, he still was closer to the truth than anyone else, so why was he eliminated?? Really strange!
@@domon9794 remember it’s also about knowing ABOUT your suspect in great detail so there’s a chance Joi answered incorrectly for will and so happend to answer correctly for Kesi or maybe they are similar
Please Netflix we NEED season 2. I watched this knowing who the mole was because I looked it up before watching it and I still enjoyed it from start to finish
this show is good but to me does not make the sense that the mole never wins the game. Of course the mole will stick around till the end of the game (knows all the answers), so it would be better the mole wins all the amount of money the group lost during the missions IF by the end the other 2 players accuse each other and not the mole.
That was so easy. Knew it since the second round where she "didn't" see a key. And on the plane when Dom said she wasn't even looking. It was so obvious it was her. Her body language and face expression when "who is the mole?" conversations came up were really awkward. Anyways, Joi almost has borderline IQ.
She’s really smart actually, you just failed to see what she was doing. By throwing away almost all of the money, she knew it would make her look suspicious or make people hate her to the point of just assuming she’s the mole without logically looking at the situation. That got her to the top 2 as people were always more off than she was until then.
Yes!! I knew from the second round too! And her confessionals were just different. She never really elaborate on a strategy n who she thought was the mole
I dunno why this was edited out? People who watched the Mole from years back are expecting this. Overall it was a good season 1 I hope this can be a yearly thing for Netflix.
kesi was made obvious to me after episode 5. joi was too obvious, editors rlly wanted to push the narrative that she was the villain, and will was the only one actually trying to earn money for the pot. the rest of the cast was just trying to act like the mole which is the main problem cus the cast tried wayyy too hard to make themselves look suspicious to the point where everyone was just sabotaging eachother and themselves, earning barely any money. the point of the game is to find the mole on your own but you'll get nowhere without teamwork. but maybe i'm stretching it too far, idk? also whatt?? joi really thought it was will after the aforementioned AND witnessing kesi sabotage firsthand like three times? WTF.
This version of it is filmed so so so so well, and I really think it sticks true to the old version. If you liked the old show, you would love this one too. They still take the quiz see who gets kicked out, etc.
@@ethanc.3625 Only real negative I have is that everyone here is in decent shape. Season 5 of the original US show straight up had an old lady, a guy who was super frail, and an overweight guy. It just added a better dynamic.
@@CHotell96 I agree with you that there could have been a better range in the casting. Hopefully they can take this in consideration if there is a season 2 !
Spoiler: I'm glad Will turned out to be the winner. The guy worked his ass off every challenge and never quit. While Greg overall was my favorite contestant, I don't think anyone earned it more than Will. I for one hope that this is the first season of many for this reboot as I enjoyed myself quite a bit.
He put most of the money in that pot and then took it out lol. If he didn't win I'd of liked the show a fraction of how much I did. Everyone else was either incompetent or pretending to be incompetent half of the time for misdirection purposes. Got exhausting to watch lol
The bank heist episode made me conclude early that Kesi is the mole. It was so obvious how she just let her teammates scramble while she pretends to not know how to do with the master list which clearly holds the clues.
I really like the mole.. will and joi are well deserved finalist although kesi was not good mole to sabotage but I am amazed. Why joi doesn't recognise kesi as mole when she worked twice with her in top 5 and top 4 task ..she choosed will as mole
There was another clue - in episode 5, they are eating at a restaurant called “The Golden Fleece.” The next mission on the train, Kesi is wearing a golden fleece. I immediately thought she was the mole after this.
Well? She did so bad at ep 1, she din’t help much in the jail challenge, in more episodes she was bad, and blame everyone cmon she was good blaming but she din’t deserved to win
This game is truly interesting because after watching netflix's version in theory it seems like the actual mole has to pretend to play a good game and everyone else should act like the mole in order to trip people up.
The “ hidden “ clues were silly … these would only be relevant if they showed more interactions between the players learning about each other XYNZ for example on the OG mole with Anderson Cooper they were choke players talking about their love ones are talking about where they went to school with their lives or whatever so it’s a little bit more easier to pick up on subtle clues and even in terms of like graphics on the TV in the previews etc
How was Joi NOT the mole like she time n time again took more money out than Kesi But fr I tho she was joking when she choose Will at the end cos even the footage they showed of him "taking money out" was him increasing it lol
An actual mole would never be as obvious as Joi, thats the first clue that Joi is not the mole. The reason why joi kept acting like a mole is part of her strategy so she knows ppl will vote for her during the quiz, thats how she managed to be in top 2, but unfortunately shes bad at guessing whos the actual mole is and lost
I prefer if they just add in the 2m45s of the producers' hints into the actual finale instead of a 7-minute video on RUclips of recaps that include it. Back in the day, this show used to include the sabotage reel AND the hints inserted into the game from the The Mole crew in the finale after the reveal. I noticed in this finale and the 2024 season, they omitted scenes of the producers' hints they placed along the way. In this video, there is 2 minutes and 34 seconds of the hints. Starting at the 4:42 mark. That 2m34 could easily have been included in the finale somewhere. It's always been an integral part of the game to find clues. I am requesting that if you continue with new seasons, please include the hints in the finale *along with* the sabotage reel. Please! :)
I know….I was suspicious of her after the train & the pigeon but as soon as I saw her get caught throwing the ice block off, like come on……I knew it was her at that point😂
I think the biggest issue with the challenges are there aren't any chances to sabotage where the players can't see them, which you can then reveal in the finale. There wasn't any new information shown to us minus the reveal of winner/mole. The challenges didn't lend themsevles to allow for surprise, and the fact we never had branching off episodes, where people aren't all part of the same game, means there is less room for creativity. Kesi's sabotages were all obvious once you know who the mole is. Mole 2 had insanely funny things to learn that can change how you perceive so much. Nothing will change on rewatch for me since the mistakes from before now all mainly are all intentional acts that you knew were intentional. Except Joi, she still thinks everything she did was genius when it was far from it.
I knew it was her….as soon as the train incident happened and then the pigeon, I was suspicious but when she was caught deliberately tossing the ice blocks off the sled, how could JOY not state it was her?? Joy over thought it, I suppose?
No because they thought everyone was trying to pretend to be the mole just to vote for them instead of the actual mole. Kesi used reverse psychology on Joi
Towards the end I thought Jacob or kessi. I knew Avori wasn’t because the guy got eliminated because he specifically took the quiz thinking it was her. I hope Will thanks Greg for seeing that truth lie game.
Please uncover the raw footage of the mole/winner reveal to show us why you edited the finale to within in an inch of its life. And give us a reunion. This revival was good, but it could have been better if you didn't insult our intelligence with heavy-handed editing (extreme over-use of ADR, constant lying about the clock running down to 0 in every single mission).
In all honesty, before the first mission, with the initial monologue, I thought it was Kesi. As time went on, I suspected Joi more. Then, I thought it was between Joi and Kesi. Then Joi was my prime suspect. Kesi did a good job.
Kesi throwing that Bank Heist was dumb tbh. I’d never throw a game that I was solo in, maybe hold it back a little like I don’t know but I’m 100% helping them team so they don’t think it’s me in the future
@@laurenbuyense3897 I had a chart for the season going along with how much everyone lost and gained during the season and because there was missions we didn’t see it was pretty obvious who was the mole since she had 43K+ and Will was winning cause he had 30K+ gained although apparently there was missions he lost money. I hope we either get longer episodes or just more episodes in general.
I knew it was Kasi because the mole couldn't have been someone that has very suspicious actions from the beginning. She earned the trust of her fellow team members and then made her moves...It could not have been Will or Joi because they were big sus from episode 1.
Can we be honest here? Joi was the worst player out there, and she ended up getting lucky enough to get by in so many challenges. Like how the hell you a pilot and suck so bad at these challenges🤨
She is the wisest player. She keeps failing at missions to make others think that she’s the mole. When others do, they answer her name, which eventually eliminated majority of the players. Lol
@@plc9359dont push it up please.. she is dumb .. she was suspecting over will after all the things he did? She was just a bad player.. and got lucky cause all people thought she was the mole.. even i .. i couldn't believe she was that dumb tho, so i thought she would be the mole
I'm still trying to figure out how Greg got eliminated when he said he was focusing on Kesi for the quiz? The only explanation is that he just got pretty much all of the questions wrong anyways or him saying he was going for Kesi to the camera was a lie. That's why I ruled out Kesi and was so surprised when I found out she was the mole
The quizzes aren't about if you were correct on who the mole was, it's about how much you got right. Like you said, he most likely just got most of his answers incorrect. Will focused on Casey at one point in the show, Casey got out (meaning she wasn't the mole) but Will stayed even after he said he answered a bunch of questions based on her. Guess he just got lucky with his answers. At some point the questions on the quiz are guess work. The players probably didn't know how many siblings the mole had, if they could speak more than one language, or what exactly they were doing during their missions. They had to guess and they probably got some wrong because of that Most players also split their answers for the quiz, just to be safe. Yes, Greg was focusing on Kesi, but he also suspected Jacob, who wasn't the mole. I wouldn't be surprised if he split up his answers between the two, further giving him more wrong answers A combo of all this probably is what caused his elimination
After watching this series I can see how bad afirmative action and hiring based on diversity quotas really is , if that is not the case I can't explain how Joi is a freaking pilot, she has no sense of orientation , at this point I would not find it impossible for her to believe that North is literally up in 3D space. That being said I'm happy Will won he was one of my favorites together with Jacob and Dom . Also while Joi wasn't the mole what the f was she saying that Will took out of the pot ? The dude kept on adding and adding , she wasted more than the actual mole . Those lines would make sense if she was the mole but not in the actual situation . The show was awesome , can't wait for season 2 .
She knows how to read maps for airplane navigation those maps on the show were show prop cartoon maps. I don't think she played the game well but find it odd you talk about politics and affirmative action insulting Joi in a personal manner. Comment on the video or her game play weirdo
Joi was being more of a mole than the actual mole 🤣

This is the first survival show I ever watched that had a winner who actually deserve to win, the winner worked so hard since episode 1.
That's what makes the mole different. For once we have a reality show where the eliminations don't boil down to a popularity contest.

Also, during the pigeon episode, she wasn't looking into the binoculars but the cameraman 🤣
I knew episode two because she was looking out the plane too and didn’t say she seen the boat…from that episode on she kept messing up I WAS LIKE YUP ITS HER 🤷🏽♀️
Progressively looking at her body language… she’s a REAL bad liar. Guess that’s a good thing for integrity but not a great mole 😂
I knew she was the mole when she denied she didn’t see the key at the prison break
Howard Black women are software engineers
I knew she was too, all the sabotage you saw.
I never once suspected Kesi to be the mole. I gave her the benefit of the doubt when she kept sabotaging everything. It really felt like she was genuinely trying.
The only time I scratched my head was the ice mission but I felt she was doing that to get Joi out of the game so she could be in the finale and win the pot.
The only way to be surprised its Kesi is that you'd think the mole wouldn't be so blatantly obvious.
@@Acesahn hahaha true! I kept justifying all of her actions and thinking in my head that the mole would not act in such a way 😅
@@Elegant_Juice that’s the thing, no one on reality tv is that smart
U stupid then
Joi literally watched Kesi throw the ice blocks off, and still thought it was Will I'm sorry but just. No. 😭
There were so many more clues as well - but this segment would have been so much more fun in the actual episode! Hidden clues are such an important thing in The Mole, and it's so nice to speculate about them during the season, so to give it proper recognition (with more clues included - perhaps less time spent on each one so the segment doesn't take too long) would have been so much cooler.
This should have been in the last episode, it would be even better but even though it wasn't in the episode, the show was so good, it needs to come back soon with a season 2!!!
The thing that pissed me off the most was how Avori was able to look at the files without anybody ever knowing
What surprised me the most was Greg being eliminated when he was closer to the truth than anyone else! :)
yeah that’s true
@@Missramy100 She was my main suspect, but when Greg got eliminated I realized it can't be her
@@domckey7922 Greg voted for Jacob
@@Missramy100 He changed his normal answers that time, and that's why he got eliminated, he made a gamble and lost. I really began suspecting Kesi when he got eliminated.
Will there be a season 2? I sure hope so
Yes same queeeen
surely! netflix loves getting into the reality/competition genre & this got a lot of hype
Season 7*
When is season 2?
YES PLEASE
I loved this new season, I was vouching for Will the whole game to win and I suspected it was either Jacob, Kesi or Joi. Though the reason why Oesi lost first because he was suspecting Joi and Joi was good at deterring and manipulating the situation to seem like the mole. How is she so bad at directions as a pilot?? Kesi played the ditzy genius role so well.
I suspected Kesi right from the time she messed up the bank locker game. She was chosen because she was smart and yet she couldn't even figure out a way about the names like Midas, Goldilocks and El Dorado? That made me so much suspicious and the fact that she was messing up in so many tasks. My suspicion got confirmed during the pigeon mission. She was deliberately trying to sabotage not to mention the ice game.
So here's the thing...if Joi, suspected William THE ENTIRE SEASON I MIGHT ADD, and made it to the finals...how crap were everyone else's quizzes?
With players like Joi, who needs moles?
WE DEMAND A SEASON 2 IMMEDIATELY!
Wasn’t expecting Kesi to be the mole, I really had Joi and Avori as the mole
Right? My top 3 were Joi, Greg, and Avori. Kesi didn’t even cross my radar until Greg got eliminated but looking back it makes so much sense. She played her role perfectly
Oh she was my first choice. She always chose a different answer to any questions knowing it was wrong. I just knew it was her.
@@jgamer2228 Avori was too obvious. If she was a Mole she was a bad mole. I don't even know where Greg comes in, he was invested in winning, the mole won't try that hard. Joi was definitely on my list but after the last few episodes, I suspected Kesi immediately.
Really? I could tell from episode 1. Wanna know how? If you pay attention she is practicing her smile and faking it while everyone else is skitish about who might be the mole Kasi just casually smiles at every little thing. My time playing Throne of Lies online made me good at sussing out fake behavior and Kasi reeked of it from the start.
@@DST.73 actually it was obvious from episode 1 because she called herself a "Computer Analyst". Not only is that term rarely used in the industry, during 1 of the games she talked abt how she is a software engineer. A software engineer wouldn't call herself a computer analyst. The closest term would be system analyst.
I am COMPLTELY shocked. Never knew The Mole was Kasi. She was never on my radar to begin with in all honesty. I would of never guessed her as The Mole. Wow she got me good. She played the game well. Wow i am still in shock!!!
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm
Please Netflix, renew "The Mole" for season 2! The Mole is the BEST!
i was obsessed with this show!!! already anxious for season 2!!!!
It looked really bad for Joi that Kesi was the mole. So you really was just incompetente all that time?
Nope, she was‘playing’ the mole to make people vote for her in the Quiz
That was her game plan.
She made it to the final 2.
Same with the gamer girl. She was just really, really stupid.
@@prawnk1ng I feel like she did just really suck with a map
Her whole stratgey was to make ppl be suspecious of her so she knows how to answer the quiz, thats how she managed to last as long as possible in the game and made it to top3
No one gonna mention that they LITERALLY showed she was the mole... After taking the Exemption card, in the car ride back to the hotel, there's a shot of her holding the card and she flips it around and the other side reads "THE MOLE" ...only time you see that side of the card in the entire series
Yes because the shows name is “the mole” 😂
Why was the finale cut shorter than all the other episodes yet they kept this out??? Please include this in the finale if you do a season 2
Knowing who the mole was, before watching the series, was eye-opening. The producers hardly ever show Kesi in it - she gets very little screen time and they concentrate on all the other characters. To the ordinary viewer she is lost in obscurity and hidden away from suspicion.
She got more screen time than Casey so we can't go off of that
This segment should of been included in the final episode! Plus…PLEASE MAKE A SEASON 2!! This show was so good!
They made a season 2!
why wasn’t this included in the final episode?!? They cut that episode short for no reason. So weird! 😡😡😡
why wasnt the hidden clues segment in the actual episode? that was always one of the best bits from prior seasons
So glad Will won who made a decent contribution to his own winnings. I don't know how you can be Joi, have spent all that time with Kesi, and still thought it was Will.
Yeah and they keep talking about him being sketchy at challenges. He’s half the reason any of them ever won a challenge.
I feel like she wasn't even paying attention in the challenges cos everyone knows Will put most the money in. Also how many times did Kesi make a major mole move in front of her n Joi was just oblivious to it😬
Better late than never with the clues! It was so much fun to track my suspicions all season and rank the mole suspects. Really hoping for another season!!
I was so sure Joi was the mole, coz she screwed up navigation on the very first mission and also bidded a whopping $25,000 for a bloody exemption. I had some doubts in the final few episodes coz Kesi was sabotaging, but then Joi kept insisting Will was the mole when he so obviously wasn't, and I was so convinced that she can't be that daft so she must be the mole. But yep, Joi's insanely bad decision making fooled me right up until the very end.
It also doesn't make sense that her scores in exam is not the lowest when her suspect is Will. Traits of Will is opposite of Kesi.
Netflix for sure tweak the scores and intentionally retained Joi.
Joi choosing Will over Kesi is proof the show is staged 😂😂 no chance any sensible person would suspect Will. Still entertaining but obviously fake.
@@theCatsitter878 In the end even I was suspecting Will coz kesi was so obvious in her sabotaging. I didn't suspected Joi cause everyone is suspecting her since day 1, and maybe that's why they were voted out.
@@domon9794 Yes! What surprised me the most and conveyed it was scripted was Greg being eliminated! He was the person who suspected Kesi the most! Let's say he was influenced by Joi's speech against Jacob - but even if he divided his quiz answers between Kesi and Jacob, he still was closer to the truth than anyone else, so why was he eliminated?? Really strange!
@@domon9794 remember it’s also about knowing ABOUT your suspect in great detail so there’s a chance Joi answered incorrectly for will and so happend to answer correctly for Kesi or maybe they are similar
Please Netflix we NEED season 2. I watched this knowing who the mole was because I looked it up before watching it and I still enjoyed it from start to finish
It's coming in June end confirmed!
this show is good but to me does not make the sense that the mole never wins the game.
Of course the mole will stick around till the end of the game (knows all the answers), so it would be better the mole wins all the amount of money the group lost during the missions IF by the end the other 2 players accuse each other and not the mole.
The mole isn't trying to win, they're trying to be the mole.
The goal of the mole isn’t to win, it’s to make the pot money decrease
The best reality EVER. Please, bring us more seasons of it.
We need a whole hour of behind-the-scenes.
That was so easy. Knew it since the second round where she "didn't" see a key. And on the plane when Dom said she wasn't even looking. It was so obvious it was her. Her body language and face expression when "who is the mole?" conversations came up were really awkward. Anyways, Joi almost has borderline IQ.
She’s really smart actually, you just failed to see what she was doing. By throwing away almost all of the money, she knew it would make her look suspicious or make people hate her to the point of just assuming she’s the mole without logically looking at the situation. That got her to the top 2 as people were always more off than she was until then.
Yes!! I knew from the second round too! And her confessionals were just different. She never really elaborate on a strategy n who she thought was the mole
@@message2612 nah jois dumb
@@CaelstromPC not so smart yourself to make a claim without backing it up
at first i thought joi was dumb but nah she was kinda crazy smart
OMG why wasnt this in the episode???
I dunno why this was edited out? People who watched the Mole from years back are expecting this. Overall it was a good season 1 I hope this can be a yearly thing for Netflix.
Joi fumbled, she played so well!
kesi was made obvious to me after episode 5. joi was too obvious, editors rlly wanted to push the narrative that she was the villain, and will was the only one actually trying to earn money for the pot. the rest of the cast was just trying to act like the mole which is the main problem cus the cast tried wayyy too hard to make themselves look suspicious to the point where everyone was just sabotaging eachother and themselves, earning barely any money. the point of the game is to find the mole on your own but you'll get nowhere without teamwork. but maybe i'm stretching it too far, idk?
also whatt?? joi really thought it was will after the aforementioned AND witnessing kesi sabotage firsthand like three times? WTF.
I think another giveaway (in retrospect) were Keri’s confessionals. It felt so rehearsed and she wore multiple outfits as compared to other players.
This is the greatest show ever created!
Thank you for bringing it back.
Ps. Please raise the $$$ and bring back David Michael Frank soundtracks.
wait WHAT!? The Mole got a reboot!? It was my favorite show back then! OMFG THANK YOU!
This version of it is filmed so so so so well, and I really think it sticks true to the old version. If you liked the old show, you would love this one too. They still take the quiz see who gets kicked out, etc.
@@ethanc.3625 Only real negative I have is that everyone here is in decent shape. Season 5 of the original US show straight up had an old lady, a guy who was super frail, and an overweight guy. It just added a better dynamic.
@@CHotell96 I agree with you that there could have been a better range in the casting. Hopefully they can take this in consideration if there is a season 2 !
Spoiler:
I'm glad Will turned out to be the winner. The guy worked his ass off every challenge and never quit. While Greg overall was my favorite contestant, I don't think anyone earned it more than Will.
I for one hope that this is the first season of many for this reboot as I enjoyed myself quite a bit.
He put most of the money in that pot and then took it out lol. If he didn't win I'd of liked the show a fraction of how much I did. Everyone else was either incompetent or pretending to be incompetent half of the time for misdirection purposes. Got exhausting to watch lol
I liked Jacob just for that fact that he was willing to take the same route as everyone’s number 1 suspect
They should've added this segment
I started watching this show, the past three weeks ago, and loved every bit of it! I’m ready for a season 2!!
The bank heist episode made me conclude early that Kesi is the mole. It was so obvious how she just let her teammates scramble while she pretends to not know how to do with the master list which clearly holds the clues.
One of my favorite shows on Netflix!
Vouched for Pranav to win but cheers to Will for winning
We needed more of this in the actual episode
Please bring a season 2! And include these type of easter eggs the finales!
It was so easy as an audience. They never interviewed her as much as the others figured it out after one episode 😂
I really like the mole.. will and joi are well deserved finalist although kesi was not good mole to sabotage but I am amazed. Why joi doesn't recognise kesi as mole when she worked twice with her in top 5 and top 4 task ..she choosed will as mole
There was another clue - in episode 5, they are eating at a restaurant called “The Golden Fleece.” The next mission on the train, Kesi is wearing a golden fleece. I immediately thought she was the mole after this.
We need Season 2! ❤️👏
I thought it would’ve been Joi, Will or Avori I was completely shocked but Kesi’s reveal!
How could it not be Joi 😭😭😭 That 25,000 bid was such a mole move 😭
i do enjoy watching this show.
Joi actually played so well that people hate her for it lol
Well? She did so bad at ep 1, she din’t help much in the jail challenge, in more episodes she was bad, and blame everyone cmon she was good blaming but she din’t deserved to win
This game is truly interesting because after watching netflix's version in theory it seems like the actual mole has to pretend to play a good game and everyone else should act like the mole in order to trip people up.
Is this going to be released as a separate episode? If not, it should become one from season 2 onwards 😊
I see Netflix is continuing the tradition of clues that mean nothing to the audience unless they read the bio's of players before watching.
The “ hidden “ clues were silly … these would only be relevant if they showed more interactions between the players learning about each other XYNZ for example on the OG mole with Anderson Cooper they were choke players talking about their love ones are talking about where they went to school with their lives or whatever so it’s a little bit more easier to pick up on subtle clues and even in terms of like graphics on the TV in the previews etc
I have no idea how joi of all people couldn't figure out who the mole was. The pigeon episode was so obvious.
Very obvious 😂💯
I knew it was her since the prison episode. She played a good game.
Kesi played the game well! Sign me up for season 2!
She had a lot of help from the contestants and how they lost money on their own.
How was Joi NOT the mole like she time n time again took more money out than Kesi
But fr I tho she was joking when she choose Will at the end cos even the footage they showed of him "taking money out" was him increasing it lol
Right like wtf Avori was trynna accuse Will at the end too like girl be fr😭
An actual mole would never be as obvious as Joi, thats the first clue that Joi is not the mole. The reason why joi kept acting like a mole is part of her strategy so she knows ppl will vote for her during the quiz, thats how she managed to be in top 2, but unfortunately shes bad at guessing whos the actual mole is and lost
I prefer if they just add in the 2m45s of the producers' hints into the actual finale instead of a 7-minute video on RUclips of recaps that include it. Back in the day, this show used to include the sabotage reel AND the hints inserted into the game from the The Mole crew in the finale after the reveal. I noticed in this finale and the 2024 season, they omitted scenes of the producers' hints they placed along the way.
In this video, there is 2 minutes and 34 seconds of the hints. Starting at the 4:42 mark. That 2m34 could easily have been included in the finale somewhere. It's always been an integral part of the game to find clues.
I am requesting that if you continue with new seasons, please include the hints in the finale *along with* the sabotage reel. Please! :)
In the last 3 episodes she was my nr 1 suspect, but i was never 100% sure.
I know….I was suspicious of her after the train & the pigeon but as soon as I saw her get caught throwing the ice block off, like come on……I knew it was her at that point😂
I think the biggest issue with the challenges are there aren't any chances to sabotage where the players can't see them, which you can then reveal in the finale. There wasn't any new information shown to us minus the reveal of winner/mole. The challenges didn't lend themsevles to allow for surprise, and the fact we never had branching off episodes, where people aren't all part of the same game, means there is less room for creativity. Kesi's sabotages were all obvious once you know who the mole is.
Mole 2 had insanely funny things to learn that can change how you perceive so much. Nothing will change on rewatch for me since the mistakes from before now all mainly are all intentional acts that you knew were intentional. Except Joi, she still thinks everything she did was genius when it was far from it.
I knew it was her….as soon as the train incident happened and then the pigeon, I was suspicious but when she was caught deliberately tossing the ice blocks off the sled, how could JOY not state it was her?? Joy over thought it, I suppose?
No because they thought everyone was trying to pretend to be the mole just to vote for them instead of the actual mole. Kesi used reverse psychology on Joi
Towards the end I thought Jacob or kessi. I knew Avori wasn’t because the guy got eliminated because he specifically took the quiz thinking it was her. I hope Will thanks Greg for seeing that truth lie game.
When you have the exact same name and you are also an analyst. Oh God lol
So... Joi truly is a pilot who can't read maps? Unbelievable! 😂
Please uncover the raw footage of the mole/winner reveal to show us why you edited the finale to within in an inch of its life. And give us a reunion.
This revival was good, but it could have been better if you didn't insult our intelligence with heavy-handed editing (extreme over-use of ADR, constant lying about the clock running down to 0 in every single mission).
So Joi really can’t read paper maps .
In all honesty, before the first mission, with the initial monologue, I thought it was Kesi. As time went on, I suspected Joi more. Then, I thought it was between Joi and Kesi. Then Joi was my prime suspect. Kesi did a good job.
I love this game!!!!!! it is so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
More of these extra videos please!
omg please do another one of these with who each player suspected each week 🫣
It took me all the way until the climb and chains to figure it out 😭
Kesi throwing that Bank Heist was dumb tbh. I’d never throw a game that I was solo in, maybe hold it back a little like I don’t know but I’m 100% helping them team so they don’t think it’s me in the future
She did it well most people including the audience had no clue it was her during that time
@@laurenbuyense3897 I mean that gave her up to me tbh. Hell will wasn’t convinced either.
@@JamesWade1021 you're pretty intuitive then
@@laurenbuyense3897 I had a chart for the season going along with how much everyone lost and gained during the season and because there was missions we didn’t see it was pretty obvious who was the mole since she had 43K+ and Will was winning cause he had 30K+ gained although apparently there was missions he lost money. I hope we either get longer episodes or just more episodes in general.
Look man im just happy will won. Its like he was the protagonist how i was rooting for him. Dom got screwed over though, he deserved better.
I really wanted more of osei ngl
Why didn't you guys air this in the final episode?
I knew it was Kasi because the mole couldn't have been someone that has very suspicious actions from the beginning. She earned the trust of her fellow team members and then made her moves...It could not have been Will or Joi because they were big sus from episode 1.
They did dom dirty
I love that show literally
Dude I thought it was Avori for so long
Can we be honest here? Joi was the worst player out there, and she ended up getting lucky enough to get by in so many challenges. Like how the hell you a pilot and suck so bad at these challenges🤨
Exactly!
She is the wisest player. She keeps failing at missions to make others think that she’s the mole. When others do, they answer her name, which eventually eliminated majority of the players. Lol
@@plc9359dont push it up please.. she is dumb .. she was suspecting over will after all the things he did? She was just a bad player.. and got lucky cause all people thought she was the mole.. even i .. i couldn't believe she was that dumb tho, so i thought she would be the mole
I'm still trying to figure out how Greg got eliminated when he said he was focusing on Kesi for the quiz? The only explanation is that he just got pretty much all of the questions wrong anyways or him saying he was going for Kesi to the camera was a lie. That's why I ruled out Kesi and was so surprised when I found out she was the mole
The quizzes aren't about if you were correct on who the mole was, it's about how much you got right. Like you said, he most likely just got most of his answers incorrect.
Will focused on Casey at one point in the show, Casey got out (meaning she wasn't the mole) but Will stayed even after he said he answered a bunch of questions based on her. Guess he just got lucky with his answers.
At some point the questions on the quiz are guess work. The players probably didn't know how many siblings the mole had, if they could speak more than one language, or what exactly they were doing during their missions. They had to guess and they probably got some wrong because of that
Most players also split their answers for the quiz, just to be safe. Yes, Greg was focusing on Kesi, but he also suspected Jacob, who wasn't the mole. I wouldn't be surprised if he split up his answers between the two, further giving him more wrong answers
A combo of all this probably is what caused his elimination
Is Joi really a pilot? We have pilots in our family and I'm pretty sure they're good with maps and navigation.
Kesi wore a lot of gold colors through the series.
Real talk, who expected the Netflix reboot of an old reality show to be far and away the best season of the show?
After watching this series I can see how bad afirmative action and hiring based on diversity quotas really is , if that is not the case I can't explain how Joi is a freaking pilot, she has no sense of orientation , at this point I would not find it impossible for her to believe that North is literally up in 3D space.
That being said I'm happy Will won he was one of my favorites together with Jacob and Dom .
Also while Joi wasn't the mole what the f was she saying that Will took out of the pot ? The dude kept on adding and adding , she wasted more than the actual mole . Those lines would make sense if she was the mole but not in the actual situation .
The show was awesome , can't wait for season 2 .
She knows how to read maps for airplane navigation those maps on the show were show prop cartoon maps. I don't think she played the game well but find it odd you talk about politics and affirmative action insulting Joi in a personal manner. Comment on the video or her game play weirdo
Wish we got to know more about Osei haha he was funny
I knew it was kesi since the last 5 episodes made it pretty obvious
I know! Esp the last one, when she was flat out caught taking the ice blocks off…how could Joy NOT vote her as the mole? 🤪
